Would Shareholders Who Purchased Dyna-Mac Holdings' (SGX:NO4) Stock Year Be Happy With The Share price Today?

While it may not be enough for some shareholders, we think it is good to see the Dyna-Mac Holdings Ltd. (SGX:NO4) share price up 28% in a single quarter. But in truth the last year hasn't been good for the share price. In fact the stock is down 28% in the last year, well below the market return.

Given that Dyna-Mac Holdings didn't make a profit in the last twelve months, we'll focus on revenue growth to form a quick view of its business development. Shareholders of unprofitable companies usually expect strong revenue growth. Some companies are willing to postpone profitability to grow revenue faster, but in that case one does expect good top-line growth.

Dyna-Mac Holdings' revenue didn't grow at all in the last year. In fact, it fell 3.0%. That's not what investors generally want to see. The stock price has languished lately, falling 28% in a year. What would you expect when revenue is falling, and it doesn't make a profit? We think most holders must believe revenue growth will improve, or else costs will decline.

A Different Perspective

We regret to report that Dyna-Mac Holdings shareholders are down 28% for the year. Unfortunately, that's worse than the broader market decline of 5.2%. However, it could simply be that the share price has been impacted by broader market jitters. It might be worth keeping an eye on the fundamentals, in case there's a good opportunity. Unfortunately, last year's performance may indicate unresolved challenges, given that it was worse than the annualised loss of 4% over the last half decade. We realise that Baron Rothschild has said investors should "buy when there is blood on the streets", but we caution that investors should first be sure they are buying a high quality business. I find it very interesting to look at share price over the long term as a proxy for business performance. But to truly gain insight, we need to consider other information, too. Even so, be aware that Dyna-Mac Holdings is showing 3 warning signs in our investment analysis , and 2 of those don't sit too well with us...
